¹Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹In deveto leto, deseti dan desetega meseca je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA do mene, govoreč:

²Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

²Sin človečji, zapiši si ime tega dneva, današnjega dneva! Ta današnji dan je pritisnil kralj babilonski na Jeruzalem.

³And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

³In govóri priliko uporni družini in jim reci: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Pristavi lonec, pristavi ga in vlij vode vanj!

⁴Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

⁴Deni vanj kose, vse najboljše kose, stegno in pleče; napolni ga z izbranimi kostmi.

⁵Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

⁵Vzemi najboljše iz drobnice, zlóži tudi kup drv za kosti podenj; daj, da močno vre, da se tudi kosti v njem razkuhajo.

⁶Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

⁶Zatorej pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Gorje mestu, ki je prelivalo kri, loncu, ki se ga je prijela rja in rja ne gre od njega! Kos za kosom izmeči iz njega, ne da bi se vadljalo zanje.

⁷For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

⁷Kajti kri njegova je sredi njega: na golo skalo jo je prelilo, ni je izlilo na zemljo, da bi jo mogli pokriti s prstjo.

⁸That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

⁸Da pride nadenj srd in se izvrši maščevanje, sem del njegovo kri na golo skalo, da ne bodi pokrita.

⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

⁹Zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Gorje mestu, ki je prelivalo kri! Tudi jaz naredim veliko grmado.

¹⁰Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

¹⁰Nanosi sem drv, razneti ogenj, dobro prekuhaj meso, naj se zvari juha, kosti naj se sežgo!

¹¹Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

¹¹Nato ga deni praznega na žerjavico njegovo, da se njegova bronina razbeli in raztopi in da se njegova nečistost v njem razpusti, rja njegova izgine.

¹²She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

¹²Vse prizadevanje je utrudilo, pa obila rja njegova ne gre od njega; še po ognju ostane rja njegova.

¹³In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

¹³V nečistosti tvoji je nesramnost. Ker sem te očiščeval, a nisi bilo očiščeno, ne boš več očiščeno nečednosti svoje, dokler ne pomirim togote svoje nad teboj.

¹⁴I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁴Jaz, GOSPOD, sem govoril. Pride čas, in storim to; ne odneham, ne prizanesem, tudi žal mi ne bode. Po tvojih potih in po tvojih dejanjih te bodo sodili, govori Gospod Jehova.

¹⁵Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁵In beseda GOSPODOVA mi je prišla, govoreč:

¹⁶Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

¹⁶Sin človečji, glej, vzamem ti željo tvojih oči z enim udarcem; ali ne žaluj in ne plakaj in solz ne toči!

¹⁷Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

¹⁷Molče zdihuj, žalovanja po mrtvem ne napravljaj; z zalim pokrivalom si ovij glavo in obuj čevlje na noge, in ne zagrinjaj si brade in ne jej kruha od ljudi.

¹⁸So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

¹⁸In ko sem zjutraj govoril ljudstvu, mi je umrla žena na večer. In drugo jutro sem storil, kakor mi je bilo ukazano.

¹⁹And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

¹⁹In ljudstvo mi reče: nočeš li nam povedati, kaj nam to pomeni, kar delaš?

²⁰Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²⁰Nato jim rečem: Beseda GOSPODOVA mi je prišla, govoreč:

²¹Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

²¹Govori družini Izraelovi: Tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Glej, jaz onesvetim svetišče svoje, ponos vaše moči, željo oči vaših in hrepenenje vaših duš; in sinovi vaši in hčere vaše, ki ste jih pustili za sabo, padejo pod mečem.

²²And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

²²Takrat boste storili, kakor sem jaz storil: brade ne boste zagrinjali, ne jedli kruha od ljudi,

²³And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

²³in zala pokrivala bodo na vaših glavah in čevlje boste imeli na nogah; ne boste žalovali, ne jokali, temuč ginili boste v krivicah svojih in zdihovali drug proti drugemu.

²⁴Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

²⁴Tako vam bode Ezekiel v zgledno znamenje: vse, kakor je storil, boste storili. Kadar to pride, spoznate, da sem jaz Gospod, Jehova.

²⁵Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

²⁵Ti pa, sin človečji, tisti dan, ko jim vzamem njih moč, veselje njih krasote, željo njih oči in hrepenenje njih duš, namreč njih sinove in hčere,

²⁶That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

²⁶tisti dan pride k tebi ubežnik, da naznani ušesom tvojim;tisti dan se odpro usta tvoja proti ubežniku, in govoril boš in ne boš več molčal. In tako jim bodeš v zgledno znamenje, in vedeli bodo, da sem jaz Gospod.

²⁷In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

²⁷tisti dan se odpro usta tvoja proti ubežniku, in govoril boš in ne boš več molčal. In tako jim bodeš v zgledno znamenje, in vedeli bodo, da sem jaz Gospod.
